FALKLAND ISLANDS LIBERATION DAY

Early day motion 239, tabled 15 June 2010 by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). Signed by 31 members.

That this House notes that this year marks the 28th anniversary of the Falkland Islands conflict; recalls the magnificent sacrifices made by Her Majesty's armed forces in heroically liberating the Islands and securing the unconditional surrender of the Argentine forces who illegally invaded the Islands on 2 April 1982; remains resolutely dedicated to strengthening the historic ties between Britain and the Falkland Islands; reaffirms the continued support of the United Kingdom in maintaining the Islands as a self-governing British Overseas Territory; and looks forward to many more years of the Union Flag flying proudly above Stanley and throughout the Islands.

Signatures by party: Conservative 13, Labour 9, DUP 7, Liberal Democrat 2.
